That word…..the word that is a recipe for disaster.
If I’m a betting woman, I’d say we all have experienced jealousy at one point or another. WE ARE HUMAN after all.
It is the dark side of ‘sisterhood’ — allowing jealousy to run under the surface.
Jealousy can be a complicated and sad emotion. I feel that it is our own sense of insecurity and lack of self-worth.
Jealousy can hold us back from really enjoying and being present in relationships that we truly care about.
Jealousy speaks more about what is missing from our own lives.
Jealousy is a problem when you give each other the ‘up and down look’ when they walk into the room and not compliment or say nothing at all.
Jealousy is a problem when you smirk instead of smile because smirking shows smugness and a smile shows vulnerability.
Jealousy is a problem when you just stop talking to someone without talking about ‘why’.
Jealousy is a problem when you want to hurt, shun or freeze her out. It’s when you want to bring her down a notch for being too……beautiful, smart, strong, adored or anything that you think you are not.
LADIES we NEED to grow up and fess up! Jealousy is never about the other person. IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT US! Jealousy is 100% of our own responsibility.
Wanting what your friends have is not unusual, and sharing in each other’s successes can be positive; however, RESENTMENT of their good fortune is not.
If you enjoy your friend’s company and value the relationship, you need to keep the negative under wraps. THAT IS WHAT GOOD FRIENDS DO.
Let’s start SUPPORTING our ’Sisters’ in their greatness! We are on the same team. Let’s do this. TOGETHER.
